Just seven days after he sparked controversy by omitting the word “Creator” when he closely paraphrased the passage from the Declaration of Independence that says all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,” President Barack Obama again omitted the Creator when speaking about the “inalienable rights” that “everybody is endowed with.”This time the president was speaking at a Sept. 22 fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, and his reference to “inalienable rights” was not as close a paraphrasing of the...

Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express have roared right through the latest round of Republican Party primaries this week, rattling the party establishment and terrifying the Democrats. For those of you who are trained in the fastidious ways of the British ‘liberalism’ and are therefore shocked and can’t think why the American Right is gaining such strength, here’s the reason: Barack Obama. Americans are waking up to the fact that they have elected a man as president who is every inch an exotic creature. Which was rather fun at first. The problem is, America is discovering that Mr Obama...

But historians say Americans have long accused their presidents of being illegitimate officeholders for all sorts of dark, and bizarre, reasons. "Heavens, where do I start?" says David Crockett, an associate professor of political science at Trinity University in Texas. "No one wants to admit that they got spanked in an election contest. It's always nicer to think the opponent somehow cheated the system. So yes -- Obama wasn't born here, Bush stole the election, Clinton won only because Ross Perot screwed up Bush's [the elder's] chances, Bush the elder won only because he demagogued Willie Horton. ... I could...

According to police, Guerdwich Montimere had enrolled at Permian High school in Odessa, Texas, claiming to be 16-year-old Jerry Joseph, for the 2009-10 academic year.

His coach, Danny Wright had sympathy and took him into his own home. Two weeks ago rumors begin to circulate that Joseph may be older...

Comrade Obama gives his obeisance to the guy he sold your children to, mainland China's top commie, Hu Jintao: Just how out of touch does Chairman Zero have to be not to realize that his habit of bowing obsequiously to America's rivals while blowing his nose at friends like Britain and Israel is not playing in Peoria? At least we don't have to worry about him bowing to our allies. He hates their guts, and the feeling is becoming mutual.

1STCavRVN11B sent me this photo from our friends at POW Net. I immediately fired it off to a bunch of other MilBlogs to see if we can ID this numbnuts. The picture was taken at Democrat Annise Parker’s victory party last month in Houston. How this doofus thought it was a good idea to dress up as a two star general is beyond me. Aside from that he’s wearing infantry brass and an infantry officer’s blue lapel (Generals aren’t affiliated with any branch), those totally unauthorized ball dusters on his chin, and the fact that he looks about ten years...

Matthew Alexander published his book last year entitled “How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq”. The book has it’s roots in a Mark Bowden article in the Atlantic. Alexander parlayed the Atlantic article into a book deal. After he wrote it, with some help from a renowned co-author, he went on a book tour making the rounds of all of the farthest Left news programs that would have him. Alexander didn’t use his real name to author the book or do his book tour. According to...

LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Many Las Cruces residents are angry and feel disrespected after an East Mesa man has been flying a U.S. flag upside down underneath a flag with a swastika on it. The man responsible for flying the flags said it's not meant to disrespect anyone, but rather make a statement. Army National Guard Specialist Anthony Del Bozque said he had to go back and take a closer look at what he was looking at when driving by on Highway 70. “I wanted to go take it down, I wanted to go knock on his door and find...

America reneges on missile defense for New Europe The United States is poised to dump a critical missile-defense agreement with two of its most dependable NATO allies. The Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza reported yesterday that the Obama administration is going to scrap the "third site" anti-missile system scheduled to be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic. Missile interceptors in Poland and a radar station in the Czech Republic were scheduled to be deployed by 2013. Now the plan appears to have been shot down. This move sends the wrong signal to our allies in Eastern Europe. The former Soviet...

And the President wants us to think today's economy(which is much worse) is back from the brink?....are you freakin kidding me?....(Complete Charts and Graphs, then vs. today)

It's hard to believe, but more conservative luminaries seem to be latching onto the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama is not a United States citizen. Despite the fact that his certificate of live birth has been released, and there was an ad in the newspaper announcing his birth several days after he was born, both Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh have now come out of the closet as full blown birthers. Dave Weigel reported earlier this week that moderate Republican Congressman Mike Castle was booed by birthers at a town hall meeting earlier this month. I think the fundamental racism...

According to the CEO of Simtech Inc., a private company contracted by the Defense Security Services, an agency of the Department of Defense, the federal agency has compelled the termination of Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook. Cook's attorney, Orly Taitz, wrote in her blog that Simtech CEO Larry Grice said he would try...

A Denver-based veterans organization has voted to disband after accusing its founder of fabricating an identity as a former Marine captain who served three tours in Iraq and was at the Pentagon on 9/11. Thirty-two-year-old Richard Glen Strandlof, who used the name Rick Duncan, founded the organization, the Colorado Veterans Alliance, about two years ago. Major Carl Redding, spokesman for the U.S. Marines, said there is no record of Richard Glen Strandlof or Rick Duncan serving in the Marines. Strandolf appeared several times as a campaign spokesperson attacking Republicans in 2008 on national security issues. Colorado Republican State Chairman Dick...

In an effort to resolve this issue once and for all, the Obama Administration has put together a team tasked with producing a believable Hawaii Birth Certificate Forgery Efforts to compel President Barack Obama to produce a valid birth certificate for the purpose of proving he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States continue. Team Obama, however, has continually tried to dismiss the efforts as “garbage.” Barack Obama, however, is finding it more difficult to dismiss the question, and would like to be done with it once and for all. He was hoping the issue would simply...

Obama’s popularity has really spread around the world. Everything from streets, hotels, and even people are being named after the newly elected President of the United States.
